I wasn't sure what to expect but this tour was everything we could have hoped for. The captain gives all kids of history about the area, and the day time cruise is very family friendly.
Drinks (including alcoholic) and snacks are available for purchase which was a plus! I would definitely do it again, or even consider it for a group get together.

We took the romantic starlight cruise. Cities are always so magical at night when you are watching the people and lights from the water. The passengers were restricted to couples so the ambience on the boat was very laid back and romantic.
I would recommend this to any couple looking to spend time together and do something a little out of the ordinary on date night.

My wife and I decided to take the afternoon cruise on Sunday. Was one of the last cruises of the season and we were not disappointed. Very relaxing cruise around the historic bay and lots of interesting things to see. The crew were great and very attentive to your needs. The Captain of this beautiful ship really knew the local knowledge of the area and made it an extremely fun, narrative cruise. This is a very relaxed, smooth sailing cruise that will not disappoint you for sure. The ship has a nice bar and gift shop on board. GREAT JOB TO THE CAPTAIN AND CREW OF THE AMERICAN ROVER!!!!

We like to take these sunset cruises whenever we're in a port city. This was one of the best. The captain and crew were very friendly and professional. We sailed past all of the important elements in our part of the Elizabeth River: the dry docks, the coal depot, parts of the naval base, etc. On the inbound portion of the sail, we were entertained by live acoustic guitar and vocal music by a very engaging musician. Got to take this excursion.

As part of our annual conference we had the opportunity to take a cruise aboard the American Rover. We wanted to express our sincere gratitude for making the day very special. All of our international colleagues commented on what a wonderful time and experience it was to tour the Hampton Roads Area from the water. Thank you to you and your staff for making our event a huge success.
